however, and they regard their sworn dec

My assistants every day find ladies who
are supposed to move in the highest So
ciety, trying TO smuggle in laces, em-
broideries, beads, trimmings, gloves and
such thirgs. These lady pa sem
gers take an old bettiooat and flounce it
heavily with lace, and then throw the gar
ment among their soiled linen. Then
again u lady takes an old wrap, trims it
heavily with lace and valuable Jet, and
then wears tia she iuantily trips down
the gang plank.
There are other cases where ladies not
smugglers stuff their hats with kid gloves,
pin lace curtains and bed spreads to their
skirts, sew iewelry in their pockets, stow
vases and silverware in their trunks and
then unblushingly declare upon oath that
they have no dutiable goods.
If these statements be true, it Ia plain
that the persons who are seeking to evade
the payment of the customs tax are not
poor people who cannot afford it, but
they belong to class able to enjoy lux

A Good Trap.
From the Lockhart Register.


A farmer named Corner, of Roane
county, West Virginia, has invented new
plan to catch squirrels which has proved
great success. He has large cornfield
which borders on the woods, and which
the squirrels have almost devastated dur
ing the past season. Having hit upon
plan, he first watched the animals and
found that when they made raid
and retreated to the woods thew
almost invariably ran along one
particular line of fence. Having
learned this fact, Corner covered the top
rails of that line of fence with tar, putting
on a heavy coat. This he did in the even
ing, and in the morning when he went to
the field he saw long line of squirrels
running along the fence to the woods.
They succeeded in clearing the fence but
when they struck the woods the leaves and
sticks stuck to their feet SO badly that
they could not climb the trees nor run
very far on the leaves. The first capture
was twenty seven squirrels, and within a
week Corner had killed and captured
over one hundred squirrels by his unique
device.

ing out of the war, at the age of Is, he
joined Confederate company, the Lone
Star Grays, participating in many actions
and assisting in the capture of General
Twiggs. He later became a member of
my brigade, and an excellent cavalry
scout serving under me until the war
ended, when he was IL years of age.
'He edited the Waco (rex.) Spectator
i'll 1868, and was married to talented and
beautiful Mexican lady in 1872 at Austin,
Tex. Two children are the result of their
union. In 1870 he was elected secretary of
the Texas senate, and the following year
he was appointed deputy collector of r.v-
enue. Going to Chicago in 1873, he re-
sumed his trade of compositor on the
Times, and in 1876 joined the socialists
He has been president Of the Trade and
Labor association for three years. He has
been nominated for alderman three times,
for congress twice and for sheriff and
county clerk once each.
AT the national convention of the So
clallstic labor party, held in Allegheny,
Pa, in 1874, he was nominated for presi-
dent of the United States, but the age re-
quirement, if nothing se,'would have pre-
vented his election. At the time of lbs
surrender to the court he was the editor
of the Alarm. My brother is philosoph-
zeal anarchist, and claims the gift of
prophecy. He has never counseled revo-
luton, but has prophesied it."

THE TRAIN ROBBERY TRIALS
Preliminary Examination of Cress
well and Brown--Damaglng
Testimony.

United States Commissioner Gardner
Ruggles was engaged yesterday, in hold
ing the preliminary examination of
George Brown and John Cresswell, the two
men who are charged with being implicated
in the robbery of the Southern Pacific
train at Flatonia. The government was
represented by United States District At
torney Kleberg, and the defendants by
Messrs. Pendexter and Burleson. While
the proceedings were under way, Tom
Jones made a plea of guilty in open court
to being one of the participants in the Fla
tonic robbery, and was Immediately held in
bond for $4,000 to appear before the
federal court, and failing to make the
bond was remanded to jail.
William Humphries, one of the gang
turned states evidence, and testified III
detail as to having met Cresswell in Ban
dera county, and there arranged to meet
him and Others, (including Brown,
on the Guadalupe river and drive wagon
for them TO near Flatonia, where they in
tended to rob train. The robbery was
talked about among them, both while
they we're going towards Flatonia and
while they were in camp. They campeG
clk VI UCh uhCh llOlb lubOutd, anu tut
parties, armed with Winchesters
and six-shooters, mounted the
horses - they had their saddles
in the wagons-and rode off towards Fla
tonia, saying they were going to rob the
train. They returned about daylight, said
they had robbed it and got $4,000 from
the express, lot of diamonds and $1,000
from a passenger, and also good watch
which had two names in it. One of the
party wanted to throw the watch away
as it might give them away.
Jones got roll of greenbacks
and lot of silver from Cresswell. He said
| it was $500. Barbour and Cornett were in
the robbery but not in the party he was
driving. The wagon had sheet over it,
and his crowd kept themselves in the
wagon under cover all the time he was
with them, which was until the Monday
following the robbery. Tho witness
| said he had turned states
but Cresswell and Brown knew
this fact when Creswsell engaged him tt
drive the wagon. He was under bone
for horse stealing in Baudera county, ano
had forfeited it, and Cresswell promised
him he would get the bond fixed all right
or he would pay it.
The witness, by his own testimony, has q
bad reputation, having spent large
slice of his time for the past
five or SIX years in jail, or else lodging
Jail doors. He is now under a charge OF
horse stealing in Bosque county. The
strongest evidence against Cresswell was
that of Mr.. Northacker, the express mes
senger who was in the Mcneil robbery
and who identified Cresswell as one of the
three men who entered his car ON that oc-
casiOn.
After all the testimony was in, the case
was argued, and Judge Ruggles announced
that he would take it under advise
ment, and announce his decision this
morning.
